Student Ministry Team

SMT Overview

When you hear the letters “S.M.T.” during announcements or in the newsletter or so, this refers to UC Berkeley Newman Hall’s Student Ministry Team. The SMT’s mission is to build God’s kingdom here at Cal by outreaching to students on campus, running community events, hosting studies to answer difficult questions of the faith, giving spaces of deep prayer, and providing opportunities for charity work through service events. The team is broken up into five specialized committees whom are ran by the SMT Core, a team of 13 students who coordinate all of the many programs and events. Being a student at Berkeley is crazy, time consuming, and challenging, but the SMT is ultimately here to help remind any student that God is their for you through all of the struggles you would face as a Catholic at Cal.

Executive

SMT Exec is the team of people who help coordinate SMT. We work to help other committees carry out their ideas, programs, and events. However, our primary mission is to help the SMT grow together in relationship with each other and with God.

Community

Comm Comm's mission is to facilitate the formation of organic, virtuous friendships through social bonding. Our events create casual environments for people to de-stress and grow in fellowship with their brothers and sisters in Christ.

Liturgy

Our mission is to bring more awareness to the beautiful ways we can practice our faith in the chapel by bringing to light the traditions of our faith. Our events are meant to foster a better understanding of the liturgy in general and to help students feel more connected to God.

We organize: Thursday night adoration and Mass, feast day celebrations, pilgrimages and more!
